They don't really have to do anything so elaborate for Minthara, she just needs to be a special exception to being knocked out during the battle or inside of the Goblin Camp. Afterwards she disappears for failing the Absolute and we find her again in ACT II.
That easy really. For example Fezzerk in Early Access was a special exception for getting knocked out, in fact he still is in full release as it's a leftover. So there is no reason for them not to simply do the same for Minthara and finally get rid of this "evil exclusivity" idea that only creates criticism against it because of one silly choice.
